Suddenly, I think this board just lost 75% of its posters.

i did the math its only 21%

Maybe if you go by amount of posters, but not by amount of posts.

If Zeppy forgot, DDR Freak is still up and running...................................

And what a quality bunch of fine gals and fellows that is.

lol Bill is funny

Oh, sorry, I couldn't read this because I was banned.

I'll cool it.  Sorry.

Oh, and I'm not really some 13-year-old named Jackson from Pacific City.  But I'm sure I had you fooled.

Umm, clearly you've never visited the boards when you're not logged in.

You can still read the announcement JUST FINE logged out. Like I said, your IP was not banned (obviously).

Although since you weren't trying to be a jerk with the dupe account, I probably won't extend the ban this time. As of now it is deleted though.

oh
i guess i should be careful then, lest i be banned from the most happenin place on the nets

Unbanned:

Kyrandian
discovolante
DancingTofu

Is this really something you have to keep everyone informed about in its own thread?

Does it affect you that much?

To be quite frank, I think the idea of an announcement at top that keeps displaying new posts that tell me who was banned and who was unbanned is the most ridiculous and annoying thing ever.

I mean come on, if things like THIS become posts, is there even a reason that there is a pm function at all?

edit: oh shit this is attacking an admin's decision personal attack week long temp ban amirite?

Uh... ok, James.

I think I made two "offensive" posts, and I got banned during a period of time in which I usually don't visit the internet, so whatever.

PM's aren't an effective way to tell them about the ban since they CAN'T LOGIN TO GET THE PMs.  :roll:

A temporary thread that has been up for what, one day to let them know what's up is not annoying. Since they were active posters, they would have liked to know what's up so a temporary thread was needed. I'll probably unstick it later today, since Zeppy already knows and the rest are unbanned.

It really killed you for a day and a half, didn't it James?

I'm really glad I put "I think" in my post.
Whether a thread is annoying or not is up to whoever is reading it, not your admin speak.  It's nice to know we have a board "set up for the community," yet any voices that disagree with the boss gets dismissed without base.

Ah...The internet.  Can't live w/o it.

Yeah seriously where else can I be a bitch for fun

haha, where the heck do you keep pulling this out of?

out of my ass, where do you think?  
though based on experience it's not all that farfetched.

Experience with who... me or other admins?  If it's me I'd love examples. :-P

zeppy is unbanned again.

hella dope :>
